It's Not A Hangover, I Promise

I had so much fun last night, but now I feel sick to my stomach and I don't think I can even talk. I also have the beginnings of a headache and don't really feel like studying, even though I know I have to otherwise I'll pretty much just die later. So.....

Last night, details, right... Okay, so my friends and I had kinda like a party, only it was only four of us. We played Guitar Hero III and danced to funky music and had this strobe light thing going on.... it was fun. I didn't end up sleeping until two last night, but hey, I missed them all a lot so it was good to see them again.

I should probably run through my script today as well as study.... ug.... truthfully and honestly, I just want to go back to bed......

About ready to say 'screw it all!',

PS; HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Saved By The Best Friends

Thankfully, my two best friends saved me from the party and instead of being there, Claire and I went over to Kramer's house and danced and talked and ate pizza and just had fun. We talked for the longest time and it felt good. Really good. We talked about guys and we talked about our each current romantic situation (please don't ask about mine...) and what we were going to do about it (I still don't really know). We also discussed politics and religion and spirits (and my whole 'third eye' thing). I felt very talked out by the end of it.

Then Claire became my ride home, but before they dropped me off, we went to Rite Aid and looked through bridal magazines, discussing flowers, rings, and dresses. We pretty much planned our weddings, but don't worry. We're not planning on getting married any time soon.

So then all of my homework ended up being really easy to do and I felt really good last night.

The meeting after school went well I think. We discussed pretty much everything that had to do with our production. Turns out I pretty much know everyone in the play we're doing, so it should be fun. We get scripts today and I can't wait!

Feeling blessed,

Tay

An Actual Good Thursday!

So today was one of the few Thursdays that I actually enjoyed! I got the results of my band auditions back and I got to Symphonic Band!!!! YEY!!!! I'm super excited as long as the music isn't hard and I'm NOT first chair!! I don't think I could handle being first chair in Symphonic Band. Way too much pressure.

Also today I found out that I did really well on my auditions for One Acts (thanks Jim for completely making my day with that!!!)!!!! So now I think I can actually act, something that I never thought to try before. I mean, I thought about it, but it was always someone else's thing. I was one of the writers, not one of the actors, but in highschool I guess you can be both! I can't wait to find out what part I got!

However, on the down side, I also found out that I might get the part my bestest friend is trying out for. I didn't even ask to be assigned that role! I feel really bad about it and I hope I don't get it, but if I do, I'M SO SORRY!!! I TRUELY DIDN'T TRY TO GET THAT PART!!!!!

So anyway, now I get to go to work and get away from the madness that is my home life. My brother failed yet another quiz and my dad wasn't in a good mood to begin with. I'm so sick of my successes being overstaged by his failures. Ah well. I get to talk to Dad on the way to work, so I guess I'll finish my news then.

I've got an open note quiz tomorrow (I'll ace it) and a presentation to give in French (might need some work, but not a whole lot). Wish me luck!

Looking forward to seeing my students,

Unwanted Snow Days

So today we had a snow day, which would normally be wholeheartedly welcomed, but today was supposed to be the One Act auditions! I'm so mad! Well, now I have more time to memeorize my monologue, but still! I was all excited and now I have to do tomorrow's homework b/c if I don't, I'll never get it all done. We had better have school tomorrow!!! I want to audition so bad and just get it over with! I'm so nervous!

On another note, one of my best friends is in love with a guy who is moving very far away. The guy just found out like a day or two ago and he's moving there like NOW! Who's parents do that?! Anyway, so yesterday Claire and I did a lot of comforting and I felt so bad.

Well, I should probably get back to homework.

Getting more and more nervous by the second,

Real Tree = Real Tears

This year my dad insisted on a real Christmas tree, which I'm totally against. For years we've been using a pretty life-like fake tree which I enjoyed helping to put together. Then last year, the top broke, so it was lopsided and now we didn't think we could use it anymore. Well this year my mom thought she had fixed it and that we might be able to use it, and I was excited until my dad insisted on a real tree b/c he didn't think the old one would work.

Downsides to real trees; - Waste of trees (and they wonder why our environment is bad...)
- Awful smell that gives me a headache
- HUGE mess
- Harder to decorate

Upside to real trees; NONE!!!

But even with all of my whining and complaining, he still went out and got one. I haven't even seen it yet and I already hate it. Grr....

On the bright side today, my mom's friend is coming over and we're decorating Christmas cookies! We always have so much fun with that every year! And after that, Kramer and Claire are coming over!

I guess the good out-weighs the bad in this post, but I still don't like that tree....

Getting a headache just thinking about that stupid thing,

One Act Excitement

I am oober, oober excited! Claire and I are trying out for Winter One Acts at our school! This is the first time I've done anything like this, but I feel like I'm finally doing something in highschool that I'm sure about, besides Flag Corps! This feels right. And even if I don't get a big part, or even if I don't get a part at all, I know that this is something that I truely want to do and might actually be good at, so I'm giving it my all and am planning on going out for the spring play as well now! Claire and Kramer get to come over tomorrow to practice and because he's going to be one of the directors, he will get to help us expect what we're going to face on Monday in our auditions. I'm, again, oooooooober excited!!

I'm also in a great mood because my mom has been baking my favorite Christmas cookies all day and I'm going to get to pig out on them tonight! That, and now the whole house smells like freshly baked cookies, and not just the kitchen, the whole entire house!! Yum!!

Excitedly awaiting Monday (one of the only times I will EVER say this),
